If he did (against Covenant forces, even), it's not too surprising. As far as I can gather, if there's any entity in New Eden that is not its own natural ally, it's the Sani Sabik.

Where most groups have comrades, the Sani (especially the kind that actually drains people's blood, etc., as opposed, maybe, to the kind you find practicing openly in the Federation) mostly seem to just have superiors, minions, and rivals.

Molok the Deceiver does wax strong in the Devoid region. He caused the cross-repping Stratioses belonging to me and my brother to have total user-interface crashes, leaving us defenseless against a Blood Raider onslaught. We asked nicely if they would give us their Cerebral Accelerators but they just opened fire. O how wicked. O how vile.

That could be said about EoM, but not about blooders. It's not a secret that Darkonnen and other small criminal organizations are involved with BR, also blooders do business with big boys of criminal world like Serps and Angels.

Nauplius, I've been perusing your temple blueprints. Mate its a great religious franchise to push in the various systems.

But we could bring a bit more drama for the paying punters. Maybe a lever for the head priest to pull, bringing fire n smoke with each sacrifice. The true believers get a bit more molok breathing brimstone, great for the theatrics n spectacle.

Also I was brought up to recycle, save some resources n all that. Could I suggest the young nubile sacrificial virgins be paid actresses. At the climax of the ceremony, instead of killing anyone, the actress screams as they drop down a trapdoor. The smoke and fire covers their exit. Only to reappear next ceremony and repeat the performance.

Finally, about my stall out the front of the temple. Perhaps we upgrade my store to a kiosk in your entrance foyer. A 50% split on all the Blood Raider clothing line, and I keep any profits on the molok religious trinkets. I've already lined up some cheap Minmater manufacturers for the souvenirs. These temple franchises won't pay for themselves.

How bout it partner?Smile

You might mistake my meaning a little, Mr. Vellum.

I'm not saying that Sani don't have allies. I'm saying they're about the only entity around that seems fully, or almost fully, dedicated to the understanding, acquisition, and shepherding of power to the exclusion of many (liberal), most (moderate), or all (extremist) other concerns. For a Sani to exercise power to take something from other Sani which they lack the power to stop from being taken is not an aberration. It's arguably a form of worship.

Another power might take poorly to mass-killing of its members by their own, or support of same, but for, say, Anyanka Funk, a Blood Raider, to turn up in a Blood Raiders cap almost certainly bought in Blood Raider blood isn't inconsistent or hypocritical in the slightest-- even if she took it by force herself.

Only, in this case, against Mr. Nauplius, it seems like the Blood Raiders had a little too much of that ephemeral power, "luck."

Sir —

Your goals seem to be of a financial, monetary nature. My goal is to glorify God. I do not see much potential in a working relationship.

Sorry Boyo, I have taken my amended Temple blueprint to a large Caldari Corparation, they love it. The marketing department has even added a giant golden n crimson arch in the shape of M for molok. Great branding ,eh!

Also the temple concept has now been copyrighted, any variation on our new vision will be in breach of the Caldari copyright laws.

What I would suggest mate is you buy a franchise now. There are always profits in religion, and no shortage of true believers with deep pockets.

To be honest, I was just curious what rhetoric Nauplius might concoct about how sinful and vile the Covenant is for not adhering to his "revelations" and his one-man church, just like the Amarr are.

...I'd probably call that a test of strength / one's worthiness rather than a form of worship, but yes, you explain it well.

Oh that one's easy.
